George C. Verghese

George C. Verghese is the Henry Ellis Warren (1894) Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He has been at MIT since 1979 and holds a MacVicar Faculty Fellowship (2011–2021) for excellence in undergraduate education. He co-directs the Computational Physiology and Clinical Inference Group at MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE).

• Education: BTech (IIT Madras, 1974), MS (SUNY Stony Brook, 1975), PhD (Stanford, 1979), all in Electrical Engineering.

Research focuses on dynamic systems, signal processing, and biomedical applications such as computational physiology, clinical inference, and patient monitoring. Recent work emphasizes mechanistic models for critical care diagnostics, including applications in brain injury and COPD classification.

Awards include the MacVicar Fellowship and co-authorship of the textbook Signals, Systems and Inference (2015). His lab (RLE) collaborates on projects like diagnostic breath tests and brain pressure sensing.
